Hi all
Busy with Revell's PzH 2000 and using Bronco's workable track set and thought I should provide feedback.
The box states that you need 95x per side.
I've only completed the right side and I ended up with 91x. The track finished with the correct tightness and everything so make sure you check before hand etc.
Will update this again once I've done the left hand side.
NB - don't attach the return rollers until after the tracks have been attached.
There are 4x per side, 2x that attach to the hull (these are fine) and the other 2x which attach to another part which makes them extend further (will update with part numbers later). I had to cut off the return rollers in order to get the track onto the model.
Due to the front fender you need to attach the idler wheels first and then slide the track through and eventually glue both ends to each other.
There is so little space that I couldn't find away to attach the tracks, let them set and then remove for painting. Had to paint them before gluing the final few track links.
Thought this info maybe useful for the rest of you.

Update....
Ended up with 91 tracks on the left hand side as well.
Parts 11 and 12 which are attached to the hull and then the return rollers are attached to them is what I referred to in my first post.
Suggestion, attach 11 and 12. Attach the entire track and then add the return rollers.
Be gentle with the tracks when adding to the model, disintegrated on me a few times before I managed to get the left side to remain as a single connected track.
